Mg(IO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MgO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.46 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and three I5+ atoms. There are a spread of O–I bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.70 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and two I5+ atoms. There are one shorter (1.85 Å) and one longer (2.62 Å) O–I bond lengths. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and two equivalent I5+ atoms. There are one shorter (1.84 Å) and one longer (2.64 Å) O–I bond lengths. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mg2+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.85 Å. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Mg2+ and two I5+ atoms. There are one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (2.51 Å) O–I bond lengths. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+ and two equivalent I5+ atoms. There are one shorter (1.88 Å) and one longer (2.46 Å) O–I bond lengths. There are two inequivalent I5+ sites. In the first I5+ site, I5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. In the second I5+ site, I5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms.
